Run, Run As Fast As You Can...



You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man! My nephew loves this line from one of his books, so when he and my sister came over one day we made gingerbread men. We took a quick time saver by using the Pillsbury slice and bake cookie dough. Instead of slicing and baking, we rolled it out and cut out the little men. We then iced them with a simple mixture of powdered sugar and milk. They were fantastic and so much easier than making them from scratch! I highly recommend the Pillsbury gingerbread dough, especially if you need to save time when baking with children. Do you know any two years olds who are good at waiting??

These were so yummy! And Grayson still today asked for a "gingerman" cookie as he says.

Your men need faces!

You're right, they do need faces. He would have loved that! But with a 2 year old and a 5 month old we were lucky to get icing on them at all. Ha!
